SAG Awards nominations: What the biggest snubs and surprises mean for the Oscar race
LA TimesScreen Actors Guild Awards nominations arrived this morning and, as one of the most accurate precursors of the awards season, you can bet that those nominated are hoping Oscar voters follow this script when filling out their ballots, which, coincidentally, they’ll begin doing today. Days after winning her first Golden Globe, Moore scored her first individual SAG Awards nomination for her lead turn in “The Substance,” Coralie Fargeat’s blood-soaked fable about fear and self-loathing in Hollywood. UP: Pamela Anderson and Jamie Lee Curtis, “The Last Showgirl” Everyone loves a comeback story, especially when it’s a tale of reinvention like what Pamela Anderson does playing an aging dancer in Gia Coppola’s poignant “The Last Showgirl.” And you probably know everyone loves Jamie Lee Curtis, particularly if you remember the love she received when she won the Oscar two years ago for “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The movie wasn’t widely seen, but voters packed the screenings for it. EVEN: “The Brutalist” Days after winning Globes for best movie — drama, director and lead actor Adrien Brody, Brady Corbet’s provocative portrait of an immigrant architect wrestling with the American Dream failed to secure an ensemble nod with SAG. If you’re a fan, don’t worry: There have been recent best picture winners that didn’t pick up a SAG ensemble nom, including “The Shape of Water,” “Nomadland” and “Green Book.” UP: “A Complete Unknown” Everyone loves Timothée Chalamet’s way of embracing the inscrutability of Bob Dylan in James Mangold’s musical biopic, so his nomination comes as no surprise.
